Masseria Fontana di Vite

This place is magnificent and you feel like home. Spent three days with my family, everyone in the staff was kind, welcoming, and helpful. Rooms are spacious, very clean and comfortable. The food is fantastic, there is a great effort to value the typical products and wines from the area. Well done to the staff, we really enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful place to stay with staff that was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was quite big and had all the modern facilities we could want, such as TV, a big bathroom with a rain shower, shower necessities, towels for the swimming pool. We had a private terrace that looked out over the fields that surround the masseria. It is located a couple kilometers outside of Matera, making it perfect for visiting the city but also enjoying a peaceful vacation. The breakfast is extensive and they offer to the option to have dinner too, which I definitely recommend trying at least once.

This place exceeded my expectations. I don't think that the pictures you see online show what a true jewel this is, in the middle of the country-side, just outside the stunning Sassi of Matera. I grew up near this place, so for me this should be no big surprise, but the way the owners have re-designed this ancient "masseria" (big, rich farm-house) deserves praises. The so called "standard" room was in itself an oasis for the soul. Everything inside this place is poetic, artsy but not pretentious, neither "fake genuine". You go to this place to write poems, to read philosophy ... or simply to enjoy your free time. Now for the little things that could be improved, in my opinion: above all, I missed someone to talk about wines and grapes at my dinner-table. My otherwise very nice waiter could and should learn the difference between natural and non natural wines, for instance, just in case a picky wine-lover such myself shows up. I also missed a bit of a personal welcome from the owner, who was often around there, but who greeted me ... but I understand he sees so many people coming and going. I also would have liked a child-free area somewhere, sometime ... BUT all in all this was a fantastic experience. I have traveled a lot, and I have my needs ... at the same time I do own myself a masseria nearby, so I can really see what a great job the owners have done to enhance our traditions in a classy and loving way. I am picky all right, but this place conquered me. BRAVISSIMI

Conveniently located near Matera but away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed returning to the tranquility this masseria offered. Helpful staff on hand to assist; their advice on where to park for easy access to the Sassi and Matera a godsend. Room and bathroom were large and tastefully decorated. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

This is a surprisingly very nice farm hotel restaurant. We didn’t expect much and were very happy with the walking rooms dinner and breakfast the next day. The suites are nice. The chef wants to please you. The place is new and eclectic (hard to describe).

This is a cuatomer oriented hotel. Excellenet service, perfect rooms. The stuff knows how to treat the customers. Although it is 10 minutes drive from Materra it is an excellent place to stay. You relax, it is quiet and the quality of everything in the hotel is on the high side
